Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 559

Detention center.

Shane led Amelia down the hallway, stopping at a small room where Bianca waited, her hands shackled in front of her. For the first time, the two women sat across from each other in total calm, separated only by a wall of iron bars.

Bianca looked almost unchanged by the years. The instant Amelia saw her, memories came rushing back—twenty years ago, the hospital, Bianca’s cruel voice echoing as she tormented Amelia and humiliated her mother, Norma. Amelia’s fingers curled tightly into her palm.

Bianca’s face showed not a hint of guilt or regret. Instead, she let out a cold laugh.

“Well, Amelia, I have to admit, you’re tougher than your mother. Even that explosion couldn’t kill you.”

Amelia didn’t flinch. “If someone like you can still walk around, why should I be dead?”

Bianca leaned back, her eyes sharp and cold. “It’s not you I’m afraid of. It’s the lunatic who’d risk everything to protect you. Don’t get it twisted, Amelia. I didn’t lose to you—I lost to the man willing to throw away his life for yours. I confess. Everything was my doing. I told Levi to kill you. I was the one who drugged your daughter, Penny. None of it had anything to do with Kristen. It was all me.”

Amelia stared at her, her expression icy.

How ridiculous. Bianca would do anything for her own daughter, but thought nothing of destroying someone else’s.

The “lunatic” she mentioned had to be Ryan. Something flickered across Amelia’s face, just for a second. Was Ryan okay? Was he out of danger? She had no idea.

“Amelia, you want to know who your real father is, right? I’ll tell you—but I have a condition…”

Amelia cut her off, her voice flat. “Your condition is that I let Kristen go, isn’t it?”

“Yes!” Bianca snapped, her only weakness laid bare. No matter how ruthless she was, she’d do anything for Kristen.

Amelia gave a sharp, mocking smile.

“What makes you think you have the right to bargain with me?” She stood up, meeting Bianca’s pale face with a cold stare. “Don’t think you can take the fall for everything and Kristen can just walk free. I won’t let her off the hook. Not after all the years you never let me go.”
